Can He Be My Partner?

I smiled as we received the certificate and returned our sections.

Next Day

"Good morning everyone! I'm Chloe Crimson and I'm going to deliver a speech on the founders day...."

"It's so boring who is gonna attend it? I'm just waiting for the dance performance by Rachel!!!! Our beauty queen of the year!!!! She's so hot Aiden, can't afford it.." Aiden's friends couldn't stop gossiping and waiting to Rachel.

"Oh god, her voice is so soothing... And the way she speaks, it must be so wonderful to hear her every moment.. and when she calls, 'Aiden' the words coming out from her mouth.. so beautiful..!" Aiden gets lost somewhere in thoughts...

"Ummm... Aiden? About whom are you talking, we don't think Rachel ever called you..?!"

"Guys! I'm talking about my princess Chloe..." Declares Aiden proudly.

"You.. you like Chloe?? Aiden you like her???!!!"

"Bruhh! Why is it so shocking.. yes I like Chloe and believe me, I'll make her mine..." Aiden smiles with the greatest confidence level.

"Thank you.." Chloe finishes her speech and smiled at Aiden unaware of the certain liking developed for herself.

Next Day

As Chloe reached school, no one disturbed her. She took relief.

In break, no more bumping and jumping upon her, in van no one called her name except Mia. She was quite happy but somewhere she felt something missing.

"It's so quiet here. Why it is so simple today in school?" Chloe looked down wondering why she felt lonely." Wait! Where is Aiden? He didnt come to school today?!... Is he okay?... I have to check on him.. but how..." She murmured softly walking around the field all alone listening to birds chirping as if Aiden is the only person missed here.

"I have to make a call to him..." And she rushed home.

Dialing his number, Chloe was a bit worried praying for nothing wrong.

"Hello.. who's it?.." comes his deep voice stricking the backbone of Chloe as if an electric shock passed her body.

"I... I'm Chloe, Aiden you.. you okay??"

"Chloe! It's you!! You really called up to know how am I?"

"Umm... Yeah I was a bit worried..."

"Ohh.. I'm okay I had a mild fever in morning so I didn't go to school today, can you come at my place to give me today's notes... Please?"

"At your place..?... Now?... I mean is it okay for a girl to go to your home now?" Chloe asked but deep inside she wanted to see him.

"Oh don't worry, mum's in home she'll take good care of you here.. I'm not alone inviting you.."

Chloe got relaxed. "Okay, I'm coming.." and she hanged up the phone and got ready.

*Knocking at Aiden's door*

"Who's it?"

"Hello aunt, I'm Aiden's friend, Chloe.. I came to give him today's notes."

"Oh Chloe, come in, go up to his room. Aunt was good to her.

"Aiden, are you okay..? You look pale lemme help you sit."

"I'm okay... Chloe I wanted to ask you, why were you so worried...?"

"Umm.. I was not, I just came to give notes... I'm going as it's done.." Chloe didn't wanted to show that she cared.

"No no! I need you.. I mean.. Oh let it be just be with me now.. please!" Aiden just didn't wanted to get separated from her.

Chloe smiled and sat beside patting his head.

"Tomorrow, teacher is gonna choose random partners for Dance Competition.. I don't want to dance with a stranger.."

"So, with whom you want to?" Aiden rolled his eyes to know the name.

"I.. I don't know either, I just want a guy whom I know well." Here Chloe tried Aiden to say his name as suggestion and Aiden did the opposite...

"Then you can go with any of my friends, I'll strictly ask them to behave great."

"Aiden!... Are you dumbass?" Chloe didn't expect this answer.

"Umm... I don't think so... Whatever the partners will be random let's wait for Tomorrow.."

"Okay.. I must leave now it's late... Take care bye. Chloe bidded bye insisting her heart to follow her brain.

Next Day

"Students, time to choose your dance partners...

Girls go and pick a token with name of the boys, whichever you get is your partner."

Chloe was in great fear, tension, worry and nervousness of course.

"I got you!!!!!!!

Aiden it's you!!!!!!!!!!" Chloe screamed with joy as her wish came true.

"Aiden.." as she came to him, she saw he was talking to Mia and laughing.

"Mia! Aiden is my dance partner, and only I can help or talk to him.." she spoke so confidently as if Aiden was officially hers.

"Chloe, you're my dance partner??... Can't believe, we'll dance together on the annual function" Aiden was in great joy. Finally they both got a private space and a reason to talk daily.
